What's included in the Idris worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital I + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #694; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; No diagonal strokes

Idris asks very little of a beginner: from the capital “I” through all 5 letters there is hardly a stroke that isn't a straight line or a simple curve. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “d” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Idris was the #694 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Idris tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Idris, in the order they are written:

I — One straight line down the middle; many school styles add a short bar across the top and the bottom to cap it. The capital is the tall bare line; the small form is short with a floating dot — the dot is added after the body, never first.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Two of Idris's 5 letters stand full height on the guides — “I” and “d”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Idris runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 290 of the 965 boys' names.

Idris was the #694 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Idris

Try “Idr”, breathe, then “is” — halving Idris turns one long word into two easy wins.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
Give Idris its height song: “tall, tall, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Idris on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Idris into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 5 letters, Idris sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Idris print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
